This is the Story of the Valueless Dream
It Started With A Nightmare
Then Took Out the Pain
Until it Had Lost Any
Meaning AT ALL.
***
(You can't scare me now,
But keep trying.)
***
I Hate It When I Say That!
***
But it Always
Works Out
For the Best,
*Anyway*
*Somehow*
* * *
Hail Redundancy.
***
Smooth Sailing.

The time was 10:35
On the clock,
I cannot sleep,
I cannot walk
I just lay here
Writing this piece,
Not living,
But silently existing
I am confused about
My reality,
Why can’t I sleep?
Running in my own
Consciousness, trying
To climb a mountain
That is steep.
Even if I can’t, why should I?
Can’t I answer the questions?
Can I only ask why?
Do I even help anyone?
At all?
Or what I might have achieved is just a
Valueless wall.
weeping for a worm
when cosmos on brink of doom
yama on an owl?

In cents no scent
In scent more cents!
Imagine if you will,
exisistence of one, without.
But valued beyond cost,
priceless, yet
meaning much,
too much,
without thought.
Would you indulge???
Imagine one harnessing strength,
an external and internal gift,
summonsed, it seems at will,
to compliment how one, feels.
Would it be make-believe??,
or a fantasy-real????
Imagine one smiling,
grinning ear to ear,
laughing,
wholly,
heartily,
'til tears begin to appear.
Would one stop to question,
the contradiction,
of the human function,
or would the thought be ,
simply,
nothing.
